every person over the age of 18 will now have to spend 2500 a year at walmart. There will be no exceptions.  Every person not spending 2500 will be fined 5000 and face a jail sentence.

Todays decision by the Supreme court is a complete joke. Forcing people to buy insurance from a private company is just plain wrong and goes to show you how powerful the insurance industry is, when they can get a conservative judge to side with the liberals.  Wonder how much cash was funneled into his accounts.

Get ready for a major friggin from the insurance scumbags. Today was a giant win for those filthy rich dirtbags

On the contrary Boys, this is a great deal for you and the country, the middle class. And businesses too for that matter. They can now compete with foreign countries.

Young people can stay on their parents insurance for 7 more years, until the age of 26 years . And, Insurance companies cannot rip you off by dropping you when you are really sick.

Take Medicare for example, I can guarantee that your Grand parents, and/or Parents love it.  For about 98.00 per month, their hospital stay is almost fully covered for up 3 months. also with in home nursing visits for a year. Part B outpatient care and / General Dr.visits are free, in most cases, or 80% is paid, depending.

So eventually it will become Medicare for All, and that will over time reduce premiums, because the young do not need as much care, but they will be covered in the event of severe illness. I figure in a few years, it will about 72.00 a month for everyone. 18.00 a week for health care.

Hospital emergency rooms will no longer be full of poor people waiting for free care, thereby reducing hosptial costs.

So think, read, and learn before you go off in a rant.

Wallstreetcapper and Ricky, I am not sure that you fellas understand medicare.

Ricky, Virutally everyone over 65 opts to take Medicare health insurance. Even the wealthy, because it cheaper and it pays off first, then supplemental insurance pays whats left over.

Secondly Ricky, S.S benefits will go up, unless we have another Bush crash, because it's based solely on the GDP.

  Wallstreetcapper, NOT ME ? AND I AM SELFISH AND GREEDY ? I beg your pardon... But I paid into medicare for decades before I retired, just as I did S.S.

Just as you guys doubt now, I doubted back then when I was paying for old retiree's., maybe your great grand parents.  I thought wow, what a waste, and there will be no SS for me, nor health care when I get old. I can recall my co-workers complaining too. But I became a believer when I turned 65.

So please, reseach before you speak. Remember older is wiser, just as you are wiser than your children.

You are still missing the point my friend. I paid what was asked of me, the max by my 7th month was paid up each year.

and you forget about the current 96.40 per month premiums, times 12 months every year...

Medicare would go broke if every payer were hospitalized every year. I was in the hospital once, for 3 days. My wife, never, she paid in also, a career woman, worked all her life. we've been married 47 years.

 We have been paying premiums for over 5 years. 1,150 a year x 5700 each. x 2 =11,400. Doctor visit maybe twice a year.

So you need to count your lucky stars that you will also be  included in the program, because a catastropic event can happen to you at anytime also. So don't give me any of that Holier than Thou stuff, talking about what I contributed, my friend.

John Roberts said paying for health insurance was like us paying a gasoline tax?  Thats like comparing apples to oranges, 2 entirley differnt things.

Am wondering if the guy was smoking crack or just blinded by all the dollar bills the insurance industry sent gave him, when he was making this insane comparison.

If a person doesnt buy gasoline, he doesnt get hit with any penalty for not buying it  Is that really to hard for roberts to understand, or are those dollar bills squeezing his pea brain

So what happens to those that can't afford the insurance, but pays the fine (in installments)? After which they then need medical attention?

cd329. Outstanding posts. Even Slim and the conservative bunches can't argue against you here.

By the way, CD arrives at the right conclusion with all the wrong reasoning.

For example, Supreme Court justices don't receive $ from "insurance companies" as they don't run for office. But I suppose you could believe Justice Roberts was bribed.

DaRoad,

I know being a youngster with not to much law experiences is the reason you dont understand certain things.

Really supreme court justices dont run for office?  lmfaoooooooooo

I hate to burst your bubble, bubble boy but if you think that a supreme court justice cant be bought, especially by a corrput industry that has as much money as God, then you are living in a fantasy world. They are human beings and with any human beings on this planet, they can be bought off for their vote.

For a guy that goes around this board trying to act so smart, you really are one dumb vile person.

Thanks again for that tip about supreme court judges not running for office, cause i would have kept sitting around waiting for an election to take place,  friggin goofball
